Congressional Candidate Boasts About His Crossbow Skills In TV Ad

A Michigan congressional hopeful touted both his crossbow skills
and his ability to play the accordion in a new television spot.

"I can shoot a crossbow and play the accordion — just not at the
same time," Paul Mitchell declared in the ad. "I approve this
message because we need more job-creating, crossbow-shooting,
accordion-playing outsiders in Congress."

George Blichar, a spokesman for the Mitchell campaign, told
Business Insider the ad was launched Tuesday morning and the
theme of crossbows and accordion-playing was "just a fun thing"
to focus on. Mitchell is a Republican running to
replace retiring GOP Congressman Dave Camp.
